Preparation Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions. Connect the AC power supply cord after all other connections are complete.

Wireless setup diagram

e.g. To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band). e.g. Wireless system Home theater unit (with the digital transmitter) Do not attempt to connect any extra surround speakers to the home theater unit. Wireless system Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)
Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)

Surround speaker cables

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator ( [W1] or an indicator) flashes on the home theater unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers. This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater unit. If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system, or move the wireless system nearer to your home theater unit.

Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft) from the home theater unit.

[Note[

Do not use the wireless system and digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.
